Report: Carson Wentz unlikely to play vs. Rams, could miss rest of season

There will be no Super Bowl run led by Nick Foles, but a familiar situation could rear its ugly head. With the Eagles already decimated by injuries, quarterback Carson Wentz will miss practice today because of a back ailment, coach Doug Pederson said.

Pederson wouldn’t commit to Wentz playing Sunday at the Los Angeles Rams. Shortly after Pederson’s press conference, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network tweeted that Wentz is not expected to play against the Rams — and might sit out the rest of the season.

#Eagles QB Carson Wentz, dealing with a back issue, is not expected to play this week, sources say. Depending on the result, given the time of year, Wentz may not play again in 2018. The team is still gathering info on his health.

Once again, Foles could be handed the reins to the offense in L.A. And who knows what could transpire if the Eagles beat the Rams, the Vikings lose again and a quarterback controversy erupts, caused by Eagles brass trying to prevent further injury to Wentz.
